As competition in markets grows apace, and consumers make ever more demands on the companies from which they choose to purchase, marketers must be increasingly sensitive to a multitude of shifting socio-cultural nuances. This book is intended to draw together a range of key topics that provide an overview into the changing dynamic context within which marketing is taught and practised. Overall, the topics are designed to keep students abreast of current think- ing in marketing and consumer research. With an emphasis on socio-cul- tural perspectives, all of the chapters have been written by experts and often challenge traditional views of marketing. The principal market for this book is fi nal year marketing undergradu- ates and students on post-experience and postgraduate marketing pro- grammes. It is designed to be the recommended reading on courses that explore contemporary issues in marketing and consumer research. As such it functions as a complete off-the-shelf package, including class discussion topics and exercises. On other modules, such as marketing theory, consumer behaviour, ethics, macromarketing, marketing and public policy, social mar- keting and arts marketing, it is appropriate as supplementary reading. The themes addressed in this book will also be of interest to students in media and cultural studies, sociology, anthropology, CAM and consumer studies programmes. So, whilst the main focus of the book is directed at the market- ing community, it will also appeal to anyone who wants an accessible over- view of the latest thinking and developments in marketing and consumer research. Together the chapters are designed to provoke debate amongst stu- dents and encourage them to enquire further into the topics on their own. vii This page intentionally left blank Contributors Nia Hughes is Senior Teaching Fellow at Keele University, and prior to this she was Principal Lecturer at Staffordshire University.

  • Can I Recognize My Body's Weight? the Influence of Shape and Texture on the Perception of Self
    Can I Recognize My Body’s Weight? The Influence of Shape and Texture on the Perception of Self IVELINA V. PIRYANKOVA, Max Planck Institute for Biological Cybernetics 13 JEANINE K. STEFANUCCI, University of Utah JAVIER ROMERO, Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems STEPHAN DE LA ROSA, Max Planck Institute for Biological Cybernetics MICHAEL J. BLACK, Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems BETTY J. MOHLER, Max Planck Institute for Biological Cybernetics The goal of this research was to investigate women’s sensitivity to changes in their perceived weight by altering the body mass index (BMI) of the participants’ personalized avatars displayed on a large-screen immersive display. We created the personal- ized avatars with a full-body 3D scanner that records the participants’ body geometry and texture. We altered the weight of the personalized avatars to produce changes in BMI while keeping height, arm length, and inseam fixed and exploited the corre- lation between body geometry and anthropometric measurements encapsulated in a statistical body shape model created from thousands of body scans. In a 2 × 2 psychophysical experiment, we investigated the relative importance of visual cues, namely shape (own shape vs. an average female body shape with equivalent height and BMI to the participant) and texture (own photo- realistic texture or checkerboard pattern texture) on the ability to accurately perceive own current body weight (by asking the participant, “Is it the same weight as you?”). Our results indicate that shape (where height and BMI are fixed) had little effect on the perception of body weight. Interestingly, the participants perceived their body weight veridically when they saw their own photo-realistic texture.

  • Women Surrealists: Sexuality, Fetish, Femininity and Female Surrealism
    WOMEN SURREALISTS: SEXUALITY, FETISH, FEMININITY AND FEMALE SURREALISM BY SABINA DANIELA STENT A Thesis Submitted to THE UNIVERSITY OF BIRMINGHAM for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of Modern Languages School of Languages, Cultures, Art History and Music The University of Birmingham September 2011 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

Any use made of information contained in this thesis/dissertation must be in accordance with that legislation and must be properly acknowledged. Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. ABSTRACT The objective of this thesis is to challenge the patriarchal traditions of Surrealism by examining the topic from the perspective of its women practitioners. Unlike past research, which often focuses on the biographical details of women artists, this thesis provides a case study of a select group of women Surrealists – chosen for the variety of their artistic practice and creativity – based on the close textual analysis of selected works. Specifically, this study will deal with names that are familiar (Lee Miller, Meret Oppenheim, Frida Kahlo), marginal (Elsa Schiaparelli) or simply ignored or dismissed within existing critical analyses (Alice Rahon). The focus of individual chapters will range from photography and sculpture to fashion, alchemy and folklore. By exploring subjects neglected in much orthodox male Surrealist practice, it will become evident that the women artists discussed here created their own form of Surrealism, one that was respectful and loyal to the movement’s founding principles even while it playfully and provocatively transformed them.

  • Modified Bodies
    Modified Bodies Office: A large, sunny studio with lots of couches and coffee tables and a massage table. Class Meetings: M/W from 9:30 to 11 am Office Hours: T/Th mornings 9-11, F afternoon “walking conferences” (meaning we go on a walk in the park and talk about it). Course Description: This course will employ a critical, sociological lens to examine several common forms of modifications to the human body. Bodies are the material point of connection between our inner selves and the world. Our bodies are the covers encasing our own personal narrative and they are the text, itself. Most of us automatically read and project assumptions of others’ histories and lives by reading bodies and corporal modes of self-expression. We also self-identify, express and celebrate our bodies by undergoing electing certain intentional modifications. In this course, we will learn to read the human body, in particular, those bodies which have sustained some form of modification, as texts that can tell us about our social histories and present realities. We will analyze the (intentionally broad) term, “modified”. As a course that promotes consciousness of our embodiment, we will explore what it means to be embodied beings intellectually studying bodies. We will examine specific contemporary forms of bodily modifications, such as cosmetic surgery, eating disorders, body-building, “reconstructive” genital surgeries, tattooing, and piercing. We will deconstruct concepts of choice, freedom, right, and agency. We will explore modes of self-expression and self- and group-identification. We will explore some historical oppressions and restrictions bodies have endured, and manifestations of body oppression in our contemporary, globalizing world.

I would also like to extend my gratitude to the religion department as a whole. I am so grateful for the valuable advice, guidance, and encouragement from Barbara Hall in the Writing Center, Librarian James Gulick, and the Office of Academic Resources in the culmination of my studies at Haverford College. I am so grateful to my Maman, Papa, and brother Mathieu for their love, encouragement, and humor throughout this challenging process. Finally, I thank my dear and delightful friends who have generously supported me in every step along the way. 3 Dunoyer Abstract In this thesis, I examine the social and religious pressures to diet on obese and overweight individuals. I also contest the ubiquitous notion found in Christian diet books that weight loss is salvific. These books follow a formulaic concept that losing weight means gaining spirituality, strengthening the correlation between a small body mass and a spiritual zenith.
